| As a former New Yorker, I didn't think I'd get much out of this tour -- more so that my wife and kids would, so this was a TERRIFIC surprise! Isaac was very knowledgeable and informative and did a great job.
What an interesting, fun, and unusually relaxing time out with our family (3 kids). The tour was JUST enough time to be fun, and not too long so that you'd be sitting there wondering when it was going to be "over."
Learned LOADS of new stuff about the places I love!
GO And Have Fun! Book your spot NOW!
Thanks. |

| We had a mid morning time slot for our 2hr tour which was ideal.
Izaak, the guide was friendly, informative and knowledgable about the areas that we visited. The weather was fab! clear blue skies and unseasonally warm temperatures, ideal for the open topped aspect of the tour.
We were only visiting the city for 3 days so it was an ideal way of covering a lot of ground in a short space of time enabling us to decide which areas we would like to return to on foot to explore in more depth.
It was a great morning, well worth booking if you are visiting New York. |

| When we were planning our trip, I think I was more excited about this tour than anything. Much to my delight, it was even better than I had imagined! We saw so many wonderful sites: Greenwich Village, Soho, Little Italy, Chinatown....even Brooklyn.....which was fabulous - who knew? We never could have scratched the surface of New York on our own. This tour allowed us to get a crash course on the city and it's history in only 2 hours. Isaac, our guide, was extremely knowledgable and clearly loves his city and knows so much about it. The only thing I wish is that I would have taken notes so I could remember everything he told us! He was great and alot of fun. I was also impressed and very grateful that they warned us well in advance that the forecast called for rain. They came up with a couple of back-up plans that worked with our schedule and kept in constant contact with us via email and through the hotel to ensure that we would not only be able to take our tour but have nice weather to boot. The car does attract alot of attention and it's wonderful to just tip your head back and take in all of the fantastic architecture. I would enthusiastically recommend this tour to anyone planning a trip to New York - it really turned out to be the best part of our entire trip. Don't be a geek riding on top of a big red bus - tour in style! oh, and have Isaac drop you off at Bleeker Street pizza for a slice - it's THE best pizza in New York! Thanks Isaac - we had a blast! |

| If you want a personal tour of the best places in New York City, Isaac will provide just that. You can actually interact with him and ask any and all questions that you want. Great guy. Very personable and accommodating. My sister and I sat in the back seat of the convertible and we put our mother in the front. We all had a blast and agreed that it was the best thing we did in the 4 days that we were there. We were able to mark off many sights on our "to do list" after being with Isaac for just 2 hours. Wow! What a beautiful day it turned out to be (9/17/06). If they ever extended the tour to 3 or 4 hours that would be great. I just can't say enough good things about it. People on the streets gawked at us because we all looked so good in the red convertible chevy. We were the envy of everyone we passed on the streets. If we ever go back to the "Big Apple" we will definitely make another date with Isaac. Believe me folks. This is the only way to go. I am very picky and somewhat spoiled. Maybe even a little hard to please. So if you want something special/different/private (one-on-one) and NO Crowds, sign up here. It is well worth the money for what you get in return.
So, from the girls here in TEXAS, we give you a big thumbs up!

| We booked the open top bus tour for two days and used that to get around the city. We did the entire bus loop approx. three times. Your tour covered a lot of the same stuff. Because your driver was a local, he was knowledgeable, more so than any other tour guide. I know time is an issue, but you should try to cover different things. ( the Irish countryside is a good example). It was fun and I would recommend this.

| I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. On the day that our tour was booked for there was a threat of a thunder storm and we were called two days prior to tour to reschedule, this gave us plenty time to make other arrangements for that day. When the tour did take place we had a fantastic time. The car is great and Isaac was very well informed and very pleasant. The tour lasts for approximately two hours but the time just flew by and before we knew it we were back at the start. Isaac stopped at various points and we were able to take photographs. So please do not hesitate - make a booking. We will certainly go back to New York and book another tour. |

| I wanted to find a unique way to see NYC at night and I found it. My husband, daughter (15) and I enjoyed riding around lower Manhattan and Brooklyn in a classic car with the top down. You felt like a celebrity and the car gets all the looks. Isaac was wonderful. He called to let us know that he was running a little late, so that we weren’t concerned. He was so knowledgeable about the city and very accommodating. He was the best. Highly recommend this tour. |

| So glad we found this site as it gave us the opportunity to see a different side of New York at night.
We really appreciated the chance of being able to stop and take photos at some of New York's less known views & attractions.
We'll always remember being a movie "extra" on Brooklyn Bridge and the "unique" aromas and sounds of Chinatown (Remember the garbage truck Isaac???)
(Both of these an unexpected but still fun addition to the tour!!)
Thanks Isaac for making our son's 21st birthday and our first visit to New York so special
****A Highly Recommended & Informative tour**** |

| Even though the rain showed itself to be a contender, it didn't dampen the tour we had. Top up or down we got a thorough and personalized tour. I would highly recommend this to ANYONE who wants to know intricate details about the city. Thanks for a great time! |

| This was a really unique way to see the sights. What could be more fun that being driven around in a classic convertible? I brought my 17 year old niece to NYC for her first visit, and we were not interested in the traditional (usually boring!) bus tours, so we tried this. It was wonderful! Our driver, Isaac, who is originally from Brooklyn, was informative and very accommodating. He included extra stops for our specific interests, and we never felt rushed. From MacDougal Street to the Brooklyn Bridge, through Ground Zero, etc., he never missed a beat. Also we felt really important because everyone stared at us in our fancy car! Great fun! Don't miss it! |
